Title : Halls of Death (Episode of deathmatch wads)
Filename : hallsALL.wad
Author : Jan Ignatius, Osku Salerma
Email Address : osku@muncca.fi
Description : These levels are designed especially for
deathmatch. They're great fun at even two
players games, but with a LOT of playtesting
we have found out that the more players you
have, the more fun :)
Note: We removed the jails from level 6 and modified
the lava pit so you can get up from it.
We also included extract.bat, which extracts
the sounds from hallsall.wad and inserts them
permanently into doom.wad. It requires that
dmaud is in the doom directory. Run the bat
from doom directory. You still aren't allowed
to spread them, though.

Additional Credits to : Raphael Quinet, Colin Reed, for making deu and
bsp.
Jari Lanteri, for converting the music on
levels e1m3 and e1m9. And all the other
music authors, whose midi files we picked
out of a large midi-collection. We also
changed them a bit to make them sound better
on GUS. (Oskus note: I don't have a gus :))

Level-specific notes:
E1M1: There's a prison in this level. If you walk over certain
linedefs you'll teleport to prison. You can't see out from there, but
your enemies WILL see you from outside, and then it's just a matter of
seconds until you're dead. So, run carefully ;-)
E1M4: There IS a way to exit on your own, but it's too hard for you to
figure out :) The first one to mail us a demo showing how he/she does it
gets his/her name on the next release of Halls of Death :)
Also, the first one to walk thru a certain doorway to a specific
direction gets teleported to a place where there is a lot of goodies
around. Including BFG. BUT, only one person can get there, and then it's
gone forever..
E1M2: The only weapons on medium/hard difficulty level are chaingun and
shotgun. At easy level, there's also a rocket launcher included.
E1M8: This level is actually a co-operative level, but we decided to
include it anyway :) You can still play it in deathmatch, though, it's
just not as good in deathmatch as in co-op.
E1M9: To exit press the button behind the plasma, and three areas (
secret lifts :)) will go down, and you must jump down with them to the
maze, where you will find the exit switch. )
